In section 35 it was proposed
that the ordinary Universe may exist solely as a cosmic laboratory where
an infinite variety of changes dynamically arise and thereby create
problems requiring solutions by the impacted sentient beings. In
this light it has been proposed on several Open Mystic pages that the
certain path to a life of endless pleasure is to declare that problem
solving will be one's highest pleasure. Arguably, it may be a way to
stay with or possibly ahead of the game, so to speak. The trait of
curiosity is a helper to this proposed lifestyle design.
Inevitably, everyone will face endless "problems" through a lifetime.
"Hunting" for solutions to these problems may be archetypal behavior and
thus innately satisfying to the graced person who has realized that
problem solving behavior is the true highest pleasure.

Popular
descriptions of "paradise" generally denote a place of total bliss, delight, and
peace. Everyone fancifully aspires to live in a paradise.

Unfortunately, if formal sentient beings were to actually and successfully
manage to take up life in a paradise as popularly conceived, gradual and certain
destruction of the species will be the inexorable result. All sentient
being inherited traits derive from historic solution of infinitely variegated
problems, many of them deadly and life threatening. A "paradise" without
problems is gradual death as body and mind skills slowly drain away from disuse.
This is the paradise paradox. "Paradise" in the popular
conception is a deadly place!

But there's a worldly escape from
the paradox. And it's simple: intelligent sentient beings such as human
need only to declare and accept that problem solving behaviors are the
legitimate highest form of pleasure. Worldly existence is suddenly bliss
as endless problems come to be seen as delicious exciting gifts. Hunting
for solutions is profoundly archetypal and natural. It can be added in the
Open Mystic context that such "natural" activity has the significant benefit
of temporal aperture expansion as described in this website.

Likely a given situation has broken down if an individual winds up solving the
same problem over and over. The wise individual would examine such loops
carefully and break free of them.

Everything falls into place organically with the realization that problem
solving behavior is the highest form of pleasure. Quite literally, this notion
makes "paradise on Earth" entirely possible and realistic.
